I guess I should listen to it again to get the whole opinion, but I'm glad I didn't buy it. I couldn't even make it through the first track, but of course I can't stand hip hop anyway. I don't particularly like Funky Skunk (some parts are still great, the hip hop parts are meh at best).
I would think someone who likes hip hop and past DJ Shadow albums will like this album. I'll stick with listening to Endtroducing (still hasn't grown old), and keep my eye out for his next album and see if he continues with the hip hop, or throws some other twist in there (even though I don't like this album, I still look forward to what he may come out with; that's what I like about Shadow, his willingness to explore).
Oh, and Jennimal, it's the magic of "the Internets".
